This is an excellent horror film that manages to deliver some truly terrifying scares while keeping that tension high and never letting up. Overall, a great film added into the conjuring universe and far better than it's predecessor.

And the moments with the doll is like the audience. But actually the story began in the 70s and is, to this day, in the "Occult Museum Warren". Yes, the story of this doll is based on real events. This film is based on a mystical story of a doll and offers a history of the origin of evil. "Annabelle: Creation" is a prequel to the 2014 film "Annabelle". As I wrote earlier, we learn the story of the appearance of the doll, and how she became a "conductor" for the evil forces. The tragedy happened to the family of Mullins. The father loves the puppets, he made the same doll. But first, it's just an ordinary toy. After the tragedy the doll, something evil. After 12 years in the Mullins house come girls from the orphanage and settle in the house. They can feel like home, only it is strictly forbidden to enter the room, which was the daughter of the family. This room, by the way, is closed. On the mystical to happen, the terrible events and the struggle for the soul. The horror elements are obligatory for a horror film. But the plot also plays a role. And here with "Annabelle: Creation" is not so smooth. I told you the entire plot, avoiding spoilers. A story without imagination. But the main character is a girl Janice is really worried. And so we worried for her even more the girl find it difficult to walk without crutches. The fact that objects, which wants to destroy evil, are children, adds empathy, you're afraid for them. And fear along with them. With the horror elements here all is well. Let, and without imagination (as distinguished from "The Conjuring 2"). Although, when the girls tried to leave by car, and in the twinkling of headlights was something alive — it was good. In this film, be sure to watch the background — there are sometimes slips something frightening. The film escalates, and after such a quiet, blood chilling moments, there is something frightening. A movie can not scare. The doll is still pretty terrible, and frighteningly alive. You can find fault only to the demon. As the first part, he is not afraid and looks too fantasy. A typical daemon that is not scary. But the rest of the effects look good. David F. Sandberg is a rookie, and was pleasantly surprised critics with the audience "Lights Out". James Wan acted as producer and probably just watched the film was connected with the universe "Curse". Director David F. Sandberg managed the task and took of course a scary movie, but with an average story. At the end of the film nicely connects the story with the first part, but look the original is not necessarily a prequel, it is an independent picture.… Expand

Back in 2014 the scary film, The Conjuring, introduced Annabelle as the possessed doll that tortured Judy, the daughter of Ed and Lorraine Warren. A year later Annabelle is starring in her own film, which you’d be excused if you didn’t knowBack in 2014 the scary film, The Conjuring, introduced Annabelle as the possessed doll that tortured Judy, the daughter of Ed and Lorraine Warren. A year later Annabelle is starring in her own film, which you’d be excused if you didn’t know it was made. Skip forwards another couple of years and voila you have Annabelle Creation, the movie that explains where it all started for the possessed doll.

While The Conjuring franchise has been particularly strong and not to mention scary so far, Annabelle Creation is the film that brings it all crashing down. This film had such great potential as it already has a strong story line based on real events. It started to use some fancy camera work only to fizzle out as the movie went on. But most of all, it wasn’t scary. It was far from scary so much so the audience laughed at what should have been moments of “ooo” and “aaahhh”.
Annabelle Creation is about a group of orphans that go to live with a couple who lost their child and wanted to have some happiness in their lives again. In a small country town and far from any neighbours or the township lies a large house big enough to home the group of girls and the Nun accompanying them. But there’s one room that’s off limits, that is until Janice finds herself in there. As you could imagine, behind a locked door sits Annabelle in all her frightening glory.

What is learnt from this film is Annabelle started as the young daughter of Doll Maker Samuel Mullens and his wife Esther. Annabelle died when a car hit her on way home from church. During the parents grief they let the demon use the doll as a way to communicate with Annabelle. And then things got out of control.
There are some deaths and some prayers but nothing has much effect on Annabelle. She eventually takes over one of the orphans and moves to the next family to torture. Not the most exciting story line, which would have been fine had it been executed with a little more “ooo” and “aaahhh”.

What does give this movie some encouragement is the young girl, Janice, played by Talitha Bateman (The 5th Wave), who is possessed by Annabelle’s demon. Bateman manages to be one of the only actresses of the orphan children that can deliver her lines and not sound like she is reading from a script. Her performance is not only believable but frighteningly so. As she goes from troubled young lady to possessed doll loving demon, she is almost worthy of your nightmares.

Taking on the challenge of another Annabelle film that wasn’t really needed is Director David S. Sandberg. Now Sandberg has had a bunch of scary films under his belt already, in particular Lights Out. This was not only frightening but also completely messed up and worthy of watching. But he seems to have missed exactly what needed to be done to make this film worthy of anyone’s time.
Overall this film has been overhyped but in reality under delivers. If you find yourself stuck for choice between watching Annabelle Creation or something else, take the something else. The scenes in the film that would normally have you on the edge of your chair, have you laid back looking at your phone for something to do. The moment they reveal Annabelle, even though we already know who she is, is so bad you’ll laugh. And there was a lot of laughing in the audience rather than people gasping or jumping.

The Nun from The Conjuring 2 does make an appearance as she prepares for her full movie to be released next year as part of the franchise. Hopefully the franchise can redeem back what was once worthy of the big screen, yet now is more interesting to watch the making of the film than the film itself.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt that Annabelle: Creation was one of the best Annabelle movies. This brought on a lot of tension and terrifying scenes. Past Annabelle movies were quite a let down but Creation was able to bring everything together and really brought the movie to a great end. The actors and actresses brought everything to life and executed everything very well. I found myself having to cover my face and peak through my fingers because of the moments and the suspense the creators made. This movie I would see again and I would have everyone I know see it, especially if they saw the past Annabelle movies.… Expand

So apparently if you make a bad horror movie, but want to fix things so that the franchise doesn't die after it's first entry all you have to do is make the next one a prequel and cast Lulu Wilson. It worked for Ouija and now Annabelle. DavidSo apparently if you make a bad horror movie, but want to fix things so that the franchise doesn't die after it's first entry all you have to do is make the next one a prequel and cast Lulu Wilson. It worked for Ouija and now Annabelle. David Sandberg channels his inner James Wan using the same kind of slow freak out tactics that can be found in the first two Conjuring movies. Making Creation the first and only film in the cinematic universe so far that feels like a direct offspring of the two parent films.

The references and tie-ins to the larger Conjuring universe are really slick. Lovely bits of fan service for those keeping up with what Wan and crew are doing. There's even a nod to the actual Annabelle doll that's done in a way that most won't pick up on unless they were curious enough to do some reading up on it. The ending is also a very smooth transition into the previous movie. I love the fact that we have an interconnected web of horror cinema that can branch out and do it's own things with different brands while still having links to one another that feel personal just like modern superhero flicks do.

The scares are of the slow buildup variety. Playing off of your anxiety and anticipation for the next big fright. It's not quite as effective as The Conjuring in this regard, but this style of horror is still leagues more potent than any jump scare palooza. Annabelle's unnerving appearance is used in a variety of creepy ways. Some of which have a slight comedic edge to go along with the chill. Seeing that the doll's head has turned by itself is always good for a nervous chuckle and shiver up your spine.

The story itself is really bleak. The big event that led to the doll's creation is brutally depicted in a matter-of-fact manner that's a real gut punch and a ballsy move for such a widely released horror film. There's is also some surprisingly graphic gore and the ending is of a sad variety because not everyone walked away okay. The tone made it feel like the characters were in real danger. Turns out that was actually the case too. The conclusion is made more tragic because Creation took the time to make sure I liked these little orphaned girls to the point where I cared enough to not want to see anything happen to them. Even the snotty ones. Maybe I just have a soft spot for kids. Of course it's hard to not love the adorable and sweet Lulu Wilson regardless. She's the new Joey King.

After a poor first solo outing, Annabelle is redeemed onscreen in a movie so good that had the Warrens showed up I would've been cool with it being called The Conjuring 3. I mean it has the same structure of eerie escalation to a final act of big thrill terrors with plenty of character moments along the way. It's also more solemn than anything the genre has seen in quite some time. At least with this level of wide-reaching appeal that is.
